This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV
converter box. Some Cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the signal is scrambled.
Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally
provided by the cable company.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE

For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler
box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable to the VHF/UHF
jack on the rear of the TV.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE OR SATELLITE

If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service which requires the use of a
converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming 75 ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler box.
Using another 75 ohm cable, connect the output of the converter/descrambler or satellite box to the
antenna jack on the TV. Follow the connections shown below. Set this unit to the output channel of the
converter/descrambler or satellite box (usually 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler or satellite box
to select channels.

If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and
premium channels require the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and
an A/B switch box (available from the cable company or an electronic supply store). Follow the connections
shown below. With the switch in the “B” position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your
TV. With the switch in the “A” position, tune your TV to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually
channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.

• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen or may interfere
with Closed Captions.

• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.

• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or may
appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an
outdoor antenna.

Parental Control

Parental Lock processes program content advisories from broadcasters. Parental Lock can respond to the content
advisories and block objectionable content (offensive language, violence, sexual situations, etc.) This is a great
feature to censor the type of programming children watch. Parental Lock offers various blocking options from

which to choose:

MASTER ENABLE: this is the “master switch” for Parental Lock. When ON, all blocking/censoring you have set is
enabled. When OFF, all blocking is disabled.
BLOCK UNRATED: All unrated programs (based on Movie Ratings or TV Ratings) will be blocked if this feature is ON
and MASTER ENABLE is ON.
BLOCK NO RATING: All programming with no content advisory data will be blocked if this feature is ON and
MASTER ENABLE is ON.
After you set your password you can block up to six ratings in TV Ratings or Movie Ratings. These ratings are set

by the Motion Picture Association of America and TV broadcasters.
